Thomas Keller’s Ad Hoc at Home, Recipes – Because You Know You’re Getting the Book Anyway

Ad Hoc at Home Cookbook, Thomas Keller
Thomas Keller sent me on a madcap scavenger hunt on Friday.

It started out as a simple google search to verify an in-store appearance/book signing of his brand new cookbook Ad Hoc at Home released this month, but somewhere around “blowtorch,” I took a distracted turn, immediately got tangled up in a web of results, and then spent all of the daylight hours of Friday and pretty deep into the darkness of Friday night thrashing my way through my special, psychotic, web-food-point-oh version of Amazing Race.

I made it out alive. Barely.

And with a tiny treasure, too.

That is if 18 19 21 of the 200 recipes from Ad Hoc at Home all available in one place (here) is considered a treasure.

It is. It is a treasure! Just tell me it is so I don’t go crying hot tears of wasteful shame into the bowl of buttery, fatty feelings, aka TKells’ Butter Poached Marble Potatoes, that I will eat to cope.

Yes, I spent the better (and worse) part of Friday hunting down every single recipe from Ad Hoc at Home that is reprinted on the web, or at least on the web as deep as page 34 of search results. It wasn’t the actual searching for recipes that took time. Google collected 12 million findings in 0.12 seconds and I filtered out 18 in the two hours between lunch and afternoon snack. However, while 18 recipes (plus the one for Blowtorch Prime Rib Roast I did myself, and more coming in as time goes on) seems insignificant in the grand scheme of TKells’ 200, copying, pasting, linking, double checking, downloading, cropping, uploading and formatting 18 links and images takes, well, and entire uninterrupted Friday.

Apparently, the cookbook does not have a formal Table of Contents, but Grub Street took on the task of typing one out. I’ve organized my findings (19 valuable findings!) into an outline based on their list. As a special treat, all of the images in the grid link to a recipe, too, same order left to right, as below.

And if the only recipe you could ever hope and dream for is one that involves a blowtorch, well, I will not let you down. Check back in a day or two.

Hmm…. I’m thinking Grilled Chicken, Heirloom Tomatoes with Succotash, Potatoes (you did mention potatoes) and Orange Chiffon Cake with Rhubarb Filling for dessert. Now I don’t “tweet” but here you go anyway: “win a copy of #AdHocAtHome from @TheDelicious! http://is.gd/4QPYo”

Thanks for doing all that research, I can’t believe there are actually that many of the recipes posted. What’s the deal with no index though? The last cookbook I bought was just the same and I ended up handwriting one in. I mean don’t you think that’s take cost cutting measures a little too far? They want you to buy the book but aren’t really interested in whether or not you’ll use it. Rant, rant.

Mmmmm. Look at all the beautiful photography! I like the simplicity and homeyness of the images. Leek Bread Pudding sounds like it could become a staple Thanksgiving dish and look at that pineapple upside down cake, my grandma always makes one during the holidays, I like that they added lots of big pineapple chunks, that’s the best part.

I would love to be a winner!!!

What I’d cook for you: his fig-stuffed roast pork loin recipe.

What we’d watch while we stuffed ourselves: We have an ongoing project on our site to watch every Jane Lynch movie ever made. Appropriately, then, I’d make this for you, and we’d settle down to watch … [drumroll] … Julie & Julia. Bon appetit!
